The Stars My Destination

This book is full of action and drama and I couldnt get enough of it.  The main character is a bad ass and everyone else is an evil bad ass.  The story is entertaining and the characters are realistic and understandable. 
The main character Gully Folye is a very troubled person.  He is focused on his task throughout the book.  He is driven by rage and constantly is looking for a way to get revenge.  From the very beginning, he was pissed.  He was the last survivor of the Nomad and just drifts through space.  Another ship called the Vorga goes by and leaves Folye to die and from that point on, he decides he's gonna kill whoever left him to die.  To show how determined he is, he even educated himself and became a high society type in order to get closer to the captain of the Vorga.  One of the most interesting things about Folye is his tattoos.  Even though he gets them removed, they still show when he gets angry.  From the way the book described it, those were tribal tattoos and are meant to be permanent.  Its a sort of branding for life type deal. 
A great thing about this book is that it has powers like telepathy but only select few have the ability.  Throughout the book they talk about this thing about jaunte, the ability travel through space.  Jaunteing seems to be a very rare power and Folye happens to have it.  The ending ties everything together and Folye seems to get himself together.  This is a great book thats all I need to say about that.
